The synthesis of rRNA and r-proteins was studied in temperature-sensitive topoisomerase mutants of the fisson yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. To reduce the severity of heatshock response seen in the… (More)

Low-temperature plasma (LTP) treatment promotes blood clot formation by stimulation of the both platelet aggregation and coagulation factors. However, the appearance of a membrane-like structure in… (More)

Cell-surface-localized receptors and their extracellular ligands usually comprise distinct families and promote diversity of signal transduction regulation. The number of available ligand molecules… (More)

Surgical site bleedings of spurting and oozing, have been controlled by clipping and ligation, and using surgical hemostats and energy devices, respectively. Notably, the intended use of the energy… (More)

Transgenic flies were established in which ectopic expression of boundary element-associated factor (BEAF) 32A was targeted to the Drosophila eye imaginal disc. The eyes of the adult fly displayed a… (More)

The guanylyltransferase activity of mRNA capping enzyme catalyzes the transfer of GMP from GTP to the 5′ terminus of mRNA. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the activity is carried on the α subunit of… (More)

Claudin proteins are the major components of tight junctions connecting adjacent cells, where they regulate a variety of cellular activities. In the present paper we identified two Xenopus claudin5… (More)
